Of course both occur in Disney comics, with the second being more frequent. --- I said "rather straightforward" precisely because German orthography isn't as regular as it could be - just enough so that an extra u would definitely be pronounced. | |

And if we’re talking about not making sense, remember there’s elements in German’s allegedly “straightforward phonetic orthography” like Dehnungs-h as well as seemingly futile letters that exist owing to etymological reasons. | |
